It's a fine case and cheaper than others out there, but it does not work for me.

I wanted a case to keep my 12 markers organized as I go out and about. I do a lot of sketching at museums, zoos, etc and take my Copic gray scale markers for quick shading, but having the markers in a pocket of my purse slows me down as I try and find the marker I want, so I thought a case that keeps them neatly organized would be the solution. The Prestige case is cheap and has the right amount of marker pockets for me, but it ends up being way too bulky for it to be convenient and the way it folds, if I open the case while in my purse, only pne row of markers can be accessed.

This must be a great case for while you are at your studio, so if that's what you need it for, I highly recommend it.

I bought these to replace the Prismacolor Stackers, which have good points & bad points. I recently broke 2 of them (totally my fault) & went here to replace them. They are not cheap. So I looked for something else, due to the bad points.

The best thing about the stackers is that all of your markers are right there in an easy to get & easy to set into place. Bad things are that they take a lot of space & need a flat surface to stand on, & come apart (not break) too easily.

The 60 marker Prestige case takes up just about as much room as 5 stackers (60 markers), which I found to be odd since the stackers seemd to waster a lot of space. However these Alvin cases, when closed, can be laid down flat, or stood up on their sides, or on their back. However the markers are not easily accessible (compared to the stackers). With the 60 capacity version, the entire 4 panels have to be unfolded and laid down (or hung up somehow maybe). This is not convenient. They should make 2 panel units that hold 30 markers. Also the markers (prismacolor) fit in the slots really tightly - secure? yes, convenient? not really.

I realise that these are geared more for travel than studio, I was just hoping for a perfect solution for me.

Somebody needs to combine the bes---nevermind, I just had an invention idea.

Well I agree with everyone else's reviews but would like to add that with the 60 marker case, care needs to be taken when opening because the markers sometimes slip out. Overall I would buy this product again because it is a great value and the only good solution for Prismacolor markers bought loose. It is also an awesome way to organize markers by color if you are as OCD as I am.
